Just go with the flow

A RIVER runs by this house in the wilds of South Kerry and its selling agent, Joanne Kelly, enthuses about the interior fittings of this pristine property at Bonane, Kenmare.

With an acre of grounds running down to a broad bend in the Sheen river, Sheen Lodge is a newish, one-off that’s just 10 minutes from sophisticated Kenmare town. The €1 million asking price fits the demographic of buyers in this area. “It’s just fantastic inside and is immaculately maintained with a design that maximises on its setting,” says Ms Kelly.

The secluded countryside setting makes Sheen Lodge an ideal breakaway home as you’re guaranteed peace in this location, says the Tom Spillane and Co agent, but there’s tremendous life just up the road, she adds.
